Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“My overall experience of school has been wonderful. There were good parts and bad parts, but such is life, you know? I've never once wished I had gone somewhere else. The only time I even came close to wishing I were somewhere else was right in the beginning of freshman year when I was homesick, and that had nothing to do with the school; I just missed my family and friends. The South takes a little bit of getting used to, but I had a great time at W&M. It's a good place to spend four years, and I'm going to miss it. I already miss my friends a lot, and I've only been gone two weeks!”

“I personally love the school. Sometimes I wonder if I should have gone to a bigger school (like UVA), but I feel like at W&M, I make more of a difference in the community. I think I stand out more as an individual. I have great relationships with most of my professors and find that that helps a lot academically. I've made a lot of great, quality friends that I wouldn't give up for anything. This school is really what you make of it. It doesn't mold you like other schools do—it helps you mold yourself and allows you to grow as an individual.”
